My cat

 

My cat's name is Garfield, he was born on April 26th 2013. Garfield is a European cat. We adopted him when he was two months old.

Garfield, like all cats, is a big sleeper. He sleeps 16 hours per day on average. But at night he is active because he hunts mice and brings them back like trophies.

We often say the cat always falls on its paws, it's true because he is very flexible but sometimes if the fall is short he can be seriously injured.

We often say a black cat brings bad luck. It was a superstition in the Middle Ages. Fortunately thanks to the stories of Charles PERRAULT « le chat botté » (Puss in Boots), the cat became a pet.

Did you know that ?

* The cat purrs from the first weeks of his life. It's true my cat purrs when I stroke it or when I give him his food.

* Do not give them milk because it makes them sick.

* So that the cat doesn't sharpen his claws on the furniture, we give him a scratcher. When he is outside he

sharpens them on a piece of wood.

* Garfield's whiskers are very long, he uses them for his environment. They are sensitive to vibration and touch.

They should never be cut because it will be difficult for the cat to explore its environment and communicate with other cats.

*Garfield has a tattoo, it's his identity card and he's vaccinated against many diseases some of which are transmissible to humans, notably rabies.

At home we love and respect animals and Garfield is a member of our family.
